Historian Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 The show was over. Club X was practically empty. The talent had all left to get something to eat, get some sleep, or whatever it is they did post show. All except Riley. He was still there, sitting the corner of the room we had used as the locker room. He had put a pair of sweatpants on, but hadn’t toweled off or otherwise prepared himself to leave. A towel was draped around his neck. His hands were idly clutching the Rocky Mountain Heavyweight Championship. He was silent. I didn’t want to interrupt his moment, but I also wanted to leave and get home to Mariah and a bowl of leftover chili. I walked up to him. “Hey Riley. You doing okay?” He looked up as if awoken from a stupor. He spoke in his heavy Georgian drawl. “Ye’sir. Just thinking.” I pulled a chair out and sat down in it. “Care to share what you’re thinking about?” He set the championship down on his bag and grabbed the towel around his neck. He mopped down his face. “I was jus’ thinking ‘bout how I got here. Y’know, no one’s trusted me with the strap befo’. I had four years with Mid Atlantic and never really got nowhere. Curtis and I were a good team, but we never got a run with the belts. Nothin’. I was just a good hand. You’re giving me an opportunity here. I appreciate that.” He looked up at me. His eyes were a little glassy. It was an emotional moment for him. I could understand that. We weren’t the major leagues. Winning the Rocky Mountain title wasn’t like winning the TCW World Heavyweight Title at Where Angels Fear to Tread or anything like that. It was still a cool moment as a professional. To win your first title. To get trusted by any organization like that. Sure, we all knew the business was fixed. You didn’t win a title because you actually beat anyone, but it was a sign of trust, a sign of respect. It was a company saying ‘You’re the guy right now’. For us, right now, Riley was the guy. Ten months in, he was in the first group of guys signed. He had showed himself to be dependable, consistent, and hard working. In ten months, he had never caused a problem. He’d never shown up in a condition not to perform. He was a positive influence on the guys in the locker room. He had earned this moment. He probably wouldn’t have gotten it if Jeb was still here. Jeb would still be champion and getting ready to drop it to Hellion. There wouldn’t have been a spot for Riley at the top of the mountain. Truth be told, he may not have a long time at the top either. With Eric really getting over as The Masked Patriot, with Lassana here now, with a couple of the guys coming in that are supposed to be coming in -- it could be a rather short run for him, but right now, today, he’s the guy. If he does well with the belt, he may get to keep it for awhile. “You earned it.” I told him. I meant it. He did earn it. Circumstances helped him, but he earned it. “You’ve also earned yourself a drink and something to eat. So get out of here. Go be young. Go celebrate your moment.” He stood up. He had good size. He was in good shape. He was a good enough hand. He really was a good member of the roster. He really did deserve this moment. He stuck out his hand and I took it. “I know this was supposed to be Jeb’s spot, but I won’t blow it.” I nodded and said nothing. I didn’t need to. We both knew. Riley was self aware. He knew that it was an opportunity created by loss, but an opportunity none-the-less. He looked me directly in the eye. “Thank you, Mista Oxford.” “You’re welcome kid. Now get out of here.” He pulled his shirt on, picked his bag up and exited the building. I ran a hand through my hair. I was ready to go home. [One Week Later] I sat in my padded leather office chair in my office at the official Rocky Mountain Wrestling headquarters -- aka, a former K-Mart that I was able to get a good lease on to turn into our training center. I was also working on getting it permitted to become our official arena so that I wouldn’t have to run out of Club X anymore. Sitting across from me were my four newest signings. Three wrestlers. One manager. I looked from face to face. Running Wolf, the six-foot-six, two hundred and ninety pound grappler of Apache heritage who up until three weeks ago had been employed by USPW. With his size, charisma, and in-ring ability, if I was able to keep him long term he would be my lead babyface. Next to him were Titan and Atlas. Titan had been one half of the TCW tag team champions until the beginning of September when he and Killer Shark put over the New Wave, he was let go the following day in a round of budget cuts -- cuts that didn’t make sense to me because he was already on just a Pay Per Appearance deal, but my former home continues to bleed money. Atlas had been let go by USPW at the same time as Running Wolf. They had been a team for Rip Chord, and I would team them up for me. The Gods of Thunder were reunited. Unfortunately, their former manager Persephone was still under contract -- and probably wouldn’t have worked for me anyway. Kristen Pearce; however, had been without a job since February and was looking for a place to land. She was landing with us. I was going to call her Aphrodite and pair her with the Gods of Thunder. I looked at all of them. “Thank you for coming in today. I just want to shoot some in house stuff for the website to hype you guys coming in. Wolf, I’ll probably keep you out of action until Christmas Chaos. I’m in talks with Sam, Cliff, and Larry about doing something special at the end of the year and it revolves around you Josh, Fred, and Kristen, you guys will be debuting at Thanksgiving Thunder. Big time match for the Thanksgiving holiday. I’m hoping Thanksgiving Thunder will be our first show here at the Oxford Arena. So get familiar with the area.” All of them nodded. They were professionals. They knew this was a perfunctory meeting that was happening because of their status and what I had planned for them, but I was excited. Very excited for what is to come.

A good athlete, he broke into wrestling at the tail end of 2006 when he began working the local independent scene. He soon began to gain a repuation for being a solid technical wrestler, not the spotty high flier that so many independent workers were, and that reputation reached the ears of Rip Chord who soon invited McManus down to MAW to have a try out; clearly he did well, as in the summer of 2007 he made his full debut for the promotion. McManus lasted four years with the promotion, and undoubtedly improved as a worker over that time, but ultimately he failed to make much of a mark.</p><p> </p><p> From his release from MAW in 2011 until January of 2016, McManus floated around the independent scene in the Mid Atlantic and South East regions -- doing occasional Indy gigs else where, but was not able to pick up full time work until he was signed to be a part of Rocky Mountain Wrestling's debut roster.</p><p> </p><p> In October of 2016, at Halloween Throwdown, Riley McManus won the first championship of his decade-long career when he defeated Shady K in a Rocky Mountain Street Fight to win the Rocky Mountain Heavyweight Championship. After the match, he told RockyMountainWrestling.com staff that his plan was to hold the Championship as long as possible and make it one of the premier championships in North America.</p></div><p></p><p></p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historian Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 <p>Thanksgiving Thunder had been a roaring success. We debuted our new building -- The Oxford Arena. This allowed us to keep the concession money, to have everything done in house. To not be paying money out for rent on a training school building and rent on a building to run our shows. Ultimately, it was a good business decision to get the necessary paperwork done to get our location zoned to sell tickets.</p><p> </p><p> Thanksgiving Thunder was critically our most successful show to date -- and coming off the back of Halloween Throwdown it felt like we were really hitting our stride as an organization. We had Christmas Chaos coming up and then we would be done for the year. I was confident we could end the year strong.</p><p> </p><p> Thanksgiving Thunder did mark the end of Death Row’s run with us. Shady K was only ever meant to be brought in for the summertime to feud with Jebediah and get him over. After Jebediah passed away, I extended Shady through Thanksgiving so he could get Riley over strong. Knuckles was only brought in for the last few shows to assist the in the getting Riley over -- as well as helping get Eric’ Masked Patriot over in the Rocky Mountains.</p><p> </p><p> Unfortunately, based off her performance at Thanksgiving Thunder, I opted to not keep Kristen Pearce on -- instead I would be trying out Lisa Bowen, who recently finished up with Mid Atlantic Wrestling, with the Gods of Thunder. I knew Lisa’s dad Barry pretty well. When I was finishing up in CGC in ‘92, he was just getting started there. He was a good guy, had a good career as a monster heel and did good work for Eisen. From all accounts, he was a fine agent as well. Eisen wasn’t the type to reward loyalty, so it didn’t surprise me that Lisa had not been offered a job there.</p><p> </p><p> Lisa could be a good pairing with the monsters. She worked with The Heartbreak Express in Mid Atlantic, who were decidedly unmonsterish, but she had a good look and a good attitude.</p><p> </p><p> I also was promoting Franklin Rush from the dojo to the main roster. He was twenty years old. Six feet tall, two hundred forty-five pounds. In good shape. He doesn’t have the star potential that Jakob had, but he could develop nicely. My attention was fully focused on Christmas Chaos, on ending 2016 with a big bang. We had been make steady popularity gains all year. With one last push, hopefully it could take us over the plateau from what the wrestling journalists classify as ‘Local’ to what they would classify as ‘Small.’ It wasn’t an easy task, but we were going to give the world a Christmas show they would remember.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45989" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-size:14px;">Rocky Mountain Wrestling Presents: Christmas Chaos 2016</span></p><p> The Festival of Champions </p><p> Saturday, Week 4, December 2016</p><p> At The Oxford Arena, Bell Time 7:30</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Main Event</strong></p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">COTT World Championship</span></p><p> Sixty Minute Time Limit</p><p> “The Pride of the Apache Nation” Running Wolf versys Frankie Dee ©</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Co Main Event</strong></p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">COTT World Tag Team Championship</span></p><p> Four-Team Elimination</p><p> Forty-Five Minute Time Limit</p><p> Thunder & Lightning versus The Gods of Thunder w/ Lisa Bowen versus The Aces of Mayhem versus The Ring Generals ©</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Singles Match</strong></p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Rocky Mountain Heavyweight Championship</span></p><p> Forty-Five Minute Time Limit</p><p> Whitehorse Whitaker versus “The Georgia Bulldog” Riley McManus ©</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Triple Threat Match</strong></p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Number One Contender to the Rocky Mountain Championship</span></p><p> Thirty Minute Time Limit</p><p> The Masked Patriot versus Lassana Makutsi versus Elliot Thomas</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Tag Team Match</strong></p><p> Twenty Minute Time Limit</p><p> The Griffins versus Muscle and Fitness</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Opening Match</strong></p><p> Grudge Match</p><p> Twenty Minute Time Limit</p><p> Jesse Christian versus “Intrepid” Ian Identity</p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historian Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 That wraps up Rocky Mountain Wrestling's first year in business! I'll be doing some posts for the beginning of the second year, laying out some of the narrative for what is to come, going over end of year awards and new year decisions. I thought it might be a good time to do a couple of things. First, thanks everyone for reading and playing along so far. Your participation and feedback has definitely been a positive motivator and I hope that my writing has been able to sustain your interest throughout the first twelve months of shows. Second, there were several thwarted booking plans this year. The first, was obviously the Jebediah championship run. The initial plan was for him to hold the title until Thanksgiving Thunder and drop it to Hellion -- then he had the fight with Richie Riggins so I made the decision to pull the belt from him then put it back on him at the end of the summer to then have him lose to Hellion -- then he died, so that got scrapped. The plan was still to put the title on Hellion at the end of the year, but then he got signed, so again we had to make a change. Running Wolf was not originally going to win the COTT World Title -- he was going to get screwed by a heel run in, but then Frankie Dee tore his shoulder and would be out for a year, so I had to call the audible.

Leion Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 This had been an interesting first year to say the least. I can't remember another game with so many booking plans changing to unforeseen circumstances. It is great seeing you adapt to the situation though. Keep them coming man.

Hashasheen Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I'll add on to that. You've had a more interesting first year than most first year runs I've played, that's for sure. With the Running Wolf in the game and on your roster, I'm curious as to how you'll position him versus Riley McManus as top champions. A title vs. title match here or there could be a nice additional ticket for you to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theheel Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Really good first year of action in Rocky Mt Wrestling. Was surprised to see competitors from RMW win both the tag and singles championship on the Christmas show but under the circumstances I see why COTT let Oxford change the World Heavyweight Championship. The 2nd year looks to be exciting with the promotion moving up to small size (either did or will soon) for 2017. Keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moafnsteel Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Man what an amazing first year. I have loved everything you have put out. I am eager to see what you have planned up for another year, hopefully you hit small real soon to help with sponsorship money and all that. Great job so far and you definitely have me as a reader!

Great work! I love Hellion so I am sad to see him go but hey he’s getting to play for the big boys so you can’t hate on him too much! SWF usually releases Spencer Spade so if they do I highly recommend snapping him up for Rocky Mountain! </p><p> I’m looking forward to see where Running Wolf goes</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
